Look, this Mezco Cyclops PX article should go pretty quick, since, as I suspected, its pretty much the other Mezco Cyclops but with slightly different accessories and his old school original full mask. Join me in skipping the preamble and getting started on the review.
What comes in the Mezco Cyclops PX box?
If you’ve ever purchased a Mezco PX, you already know they come in a tin box. This one is no different. Inside we find the Cyclops figure.
You’ll find three different headsculpts. One is tightlipped.
The second is a bit more… mouth-breathing.
Finally, we get an unmasked Scott headsculpt that looks pretty snazzy.
Unmasked. Take off those ruby-colored shades, maaaaaaan.
We get three sets of hands, sorta. Just like the other Mezco Cyclops, we get two fists.
One eye’d punch!
There are two neutral, or open hands.
Then the last set isn’t really a set in so much as its an alternative left hand and an alternative right hand. The right hand is this “salute” thing here.
The left hand is what I’ve come to call, “The Proctologist’s Mojo.”
He has a future as a proctologist.
There are two blast effects. One is a big ball of blasting…
While the other is just a sliver of blasting.
We get two sets of visors in case you lose one, I am guessing, and two with this smoldering effect here:
He also has the prerequisite Mezco stand and posing arm.

Here are a few more pictures:
I strongly dislike how the seams look on their undies.
What doesn’t work with the Mezco Cyclops PX figure?
All of my complaints on the standard are here, though admittedly, there are not a lot. The only real complaint I have is the seams on his butt. Fortunately, I rarely pose my figures ass out, so its a minor issue.
What works with the Mezco Cyclops PX figure?
It’s pretty straightforward. If you liked what the other Mezco Cyclops had to offer, it’s a safe bet you’re going to like this one.
The outfit is classic, despite the Mez flair. It makes up for the fact that I never got my hand on that exclusive TRU two-pack before they folded. Though he lacks the leather jacket of his Jim Lee brethren, his unmasked head fits on that Cyclops, which makes for a pretty well rounded Cyclops display.
Unmasked head fits on the 90’s Cyclops.
Should you purchase the Mezco Cyclops PX figure?
Unless you’re a huge Cyclops fan, you probably don’t need two high-end Cyclops figures. As such, you’ll want the most bang for your buck. If you can only have one, get the standard. The exception being, if you PREFER the old look then get this one. Either way, you won’t be missing much and honestly, no one will judge you if you have two of them. At least this site won’t.
You can still pick him up here:
“Storm, lay down some smoke to cover us. Nightcrawler, I need you to port into those buildings before they collapse to find survivors. Colossus, I need you to lift up the wreckage and clear people out. Wolverine, I need you to help Nightcrawler sniff out the survivors. Let’s get started. “Hey Slim, you don’t think we can save all of these people do you? First reponders haven’t even shown up yet.” “Yes, I do. And we’re in the field, Wolverine. Call me Cyclops.”
